Something Special to share...and a giveaway

Here is my card - I paper pieced the tree "poofs" with different patterns. I imagine this tree could be used for cotton candy or popcorn maybe? I made a broccoli stalk out it on one of my samples for the web site, LOL. I made the tree swing with 2 circle punches.

I have one "Summer Groves" stamp set to give away to one
lucky person! You have until midnight on June 17th to leave a
comment. I will post the winner here on Monday, June 18th.

Our special guests this month are Emily Branch and Mou Saha. They are both giving away a new Summer Groves stamp set - YAY! I can't wait to see what they created with this fun set.

In addition to the Summer Groves stamp set that I have to give away...I also have something special to announce. Our Potpourri stamp set in involved with the new class created by Jennifer McGuire and Kristina Werner - super yay! HERE are the details.

Registration is open for the newest Online Card Classes interactive class - Stretch Your Stamps!
This class shares techniques and tips for getting the most from many
different stamp styles. Each day of class focuses on a certain type of
stamp - background, collage, borders, etc - and shows 5 cards (and 2
videos) using them creatively.With 50+ card ideas and 20+ videos, you will be sure to look at your stamps in a whole new light.In
addition to the teachers Kristina Werner and Jennifer McGuire, there
are many fabulous guests and special appearances from stamp designers
themselves, including Tim Holtz, Ali Edwards, Kim Hughes and Claudine
Hellmuth.Class runs from July 9 - 23. Hope to see you there! Head HERE for more information.

The fun part - I have TWO class spots to give away!! So, I will choose 2 random people from the comment section of this post to win these fabulous spots. Good luck :)

This is like Christmas! All sorts of gifts to give away! Love this new set - I always love your clouds, and this is no exception and love the piecing on the tree in your card as well as all the possibilities that stamp offers. The class sounds wonderful too. Thanks for all the chances to win!

Awesome stamp set. Love the hand writing just love all of the swirls! Would be great to win the class, for this newbie needs all the help I can get. Thanks for the chance and cannot wait to see more new stamps!

What a gorgeous card--I LOVE all that paper piecing!!!! I can't get over how cool that tree looks!!! (: The set is just too darn adorable!!! I want it!!! Thanks also for the chance to win a spot in the "Stretch Your Stamps" online class!!!

Darling card! Love the tire swing. Thanks for the chance to win and for helping us think outside the box with the stamps! I wouldn't have thought to use the tree top for popcorn let alone broccoli! Lol

Oooh, cute set, Kim! I hope I'm seeing a trend here and that "Fall Groves" and "Winter Groves" will become part of the Kismet Collection later?!? These are so cute! And I love the card you made with all the different patterned papers. Adorable! And how awesome would it be to win a spot in that class?!? Thanks for the chance! Off to check out the broccoli card. Hee hee...

Just registered for the class...glad they are using some of your amazing stamps! And I do need to win the new summer groves...I just updated my wish list and there are over 30 sets of your stamps that I need to have! UGH!!! BTW...would it be possible to have a way of storing what stamps we already have on here? I guess a wish list type list but what we have...cause I am bad about buying the same sets over....Thanks for the contests!

Jennifer sent me over from her blog, she is the best at showing you how to get more from your stamps. I did a class of her years ago and it was my favourite! Would love the chance to join this class and see how she has used your stamps!

I am already registered for the "Stretch Your Stamps" class, and will be excited to see the Potpourri stamp set in action, but I would love to be entered for the chance to win the new Kismet set. Love the cloud and the different possibilities with the trees...

Wauw! I loooove your trees, Kim! These are so great again and your card is just the best! Gives me a wonderful summery feeling! And how great that your stamp set is featured in the class! I can imagine you can do a lot with that set! Great!Hugs, Wendy

What a cute card. I love how you have paper pieced the tree.While I am at it.. I used one of your sentiments for a card I made for a challenge yesterday. You can have a look at it at http://craftysuze.blogspot.co.nz/2012/06/this-mouse-is-so-proud.html

The paper piecing on your card is lovely! I especially like your idea to use the tree as other things, such as cotton candy or a broccoli stalk. I could even see it as a cluster of cute clouds. So many possibilities! :)
